Summary

This special topic poll addressed the relationship between
Japan and the United States in detail and focused on the G7 meeting of

legislation--specifically, whether the respondent agreed with the
not-guilty verdict for a Louisiana man who fatally shot a Japanese
exchange student. Demographic background variables include political
orientation, sex, age, race, income, and education.
